Essential 1st Great War Reading By 88 Gibbs has become my favorite contemporary source, I love his passion for humanity and his descriptions of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. He pulls no punches and tells you like it was from the highest official's viewpoint down to the lowest Parisian apache. I have read hundreds of books on the 1st Great War in anticipation of the centenary and this one easily makes my top 3. I recommend new readers to this epoch start with Tuchman's Guns of August and then immediately read this for an 'on the ground' feel as the war starts, people are mobilized and lives start to fall apart and in many many cases, cease altogether. Snapshots so vividly written they are like photos, vignettes of time and space that will stay with you for a long time.---Paris at the start as civil liberties cease and men stream or are pushed to the front. Want to know what an 18 year old French boy felt as his train carried him to his certain death? Gibbs asked him. What was the character of those 1st Tommies who came across the channel in August 1914? Gibbs was there and describes them. Refugees, Belgian and French civilians, Paris life, German atrocities, German prisoners, life in the trenches, the attitudes of average people to mass war and mass death, sneaking into besieged Antwerp, working as an ambulance helper and raging against the unhuman treatment of the average man against human made steel, it's all here and more.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Powerful By Robert M Once again Philip reviews the true horror of man, the true horror of war. In this book Philip spends much time revealing the sacrifices, heartaches and unimaginable horrors that the French and the Belgians had to endure. He speaks of his time volunteering as a stretcher bearer for an ambulance service and risks and dangers that he undertook to try and save as many young men as possible. His tales of the hospital wards and the wounded young men he saw is a perfect summary for why war should never be the answer. The young men and women who risked their lives to treat and care for the wounded and sick deserve much more than the praise availed to them in this book.

I was hoping for more war content, stories about the participants. There is a lot of commentary on death and destruction while apt, is recurring and recurring throughout the book. Overall, not bad.
